Good morning Venus,
Here is today’s schedule:
09:15-09:30: Log into our google meet. Say good morning to your classmates. As always, there will be early morning work to active those muscles in your grey matter. Today we will be discussing the change that is happening around us and how we are dealing with it. We will also be sharing our soothing places and the people that we can talk to when we are feeling good or bad.
09:25-09:30: Register.
09:30-10:00: Together we’ll go through today’s work and discuss any issues. Once that’s clear, I will give you time to make sure all your links work and you are able to open the documents and videos. Also, you should take a look at the independent work and make sure you understand is expected of you.
Can I remind you all that no one should be in their pyjamas or in bed! This is a learning environment and I need you to take it as seriously as you do, when you are in class. There should, also, be no personal discussions or spamming via the chat unless advised to do so!
10:00-11:00: Live Online Lesson: SCIENCE – FORCES
Welcome to your first science lesson of the term. The topic this half term is FORCES. Today, will be an introduction on the topic. Bring with you, your pen and paper.

***INDEPENDENT LEARNING***
11:00-14:15: During this time, you are expected, to complete the work for all three subjects, independently and upload it to the blog.
Literacy: RAINFORESTS – WILDLIFE – PLANTS
You will need a pen, lined paper and any notes you made pertaining to plants/trees found in rainforests.
You are to continue to write your paragraphs for your rainforest information booklet. Today we will be looking at Wildlife – Plants of the Rainforests. This will be the third section of your information booklet (non-fiction text).
The focus of this week, is looking at the different ways in which you can start sentences. Remember, this will make your writing even more interesting.

Some links for further research:
Active Wild – This page is all about plants of the rainforest, you will even read about some of the plants mentioned in the presention. The page is also part of a ‘Rainforest Series’ that can be found by clicking on the link in the introductory paragraph (the first paragraph).
Plants found in the Amazon – This page lists 29 of the most fascinating plants found in the Amazon Rainforest.
Maths: MULTIPLY BY 10 (Recap)
Continuing with multiplication, today you will be multiplying by 10. You have done this in the past, so I am expecting, that a majority of you should feel confident in doing the independent work. Many of you may find that you finish the worksheet quite quickly. If that is the case, I want you to attempt the extension worksheet.
When watching the video, make sure to take any notes, if it will aid in your understanding of how to multiply by 10. You can go back or pause the video as many times as you want! You will, as always, need pen and paper.
Remember – when multiplying by 10, the digits move, one space to the left (the zero fills the empty space).
